Title: I don't get this at all
Post by: pickle on November 13, 2014, 07:45 AM: Why and how the fook can this be £160 ??? i know the old ugly ones go for that and more (fook knows why and i still don't know why Hutch gets such high prices) but a new ugly 1 1/8th stem??

Here is just one of the many benefits

'has the H in the top cap cut all the way through so that the knurling of the bars is visible for the rider'

People in the know are happy to pay for these kind of valuable features, surely you must have an idea what's it like to be out on a ride and suddenly wonder if your handlebar knurling is still there? this excellent design means you don't have to get your allen keys out every time to check :daumenhoch:
